Chapter 2345 Natural Formation

The previous scene replayed itself, as Dong Ruian circled the golden bell buddha fruit tree, yet he couldn't get close.

Everyone nearby felt it was incredible, and one by one, they joined the group.

But after more than a dozen people tried for a long time, not one could reach the fruit tree, nor could they even shorten the distance by half a step.

At this moment, everyone's faces showed shock and disappointment. They had clearly found the golden bell buddha fruit, but they couldn't get close. No one could accept this.

However, Dong Ruian thought for a moment, then said, "Could there be a problem with the space here? Let's not fly; perhaps if we just walk, we can get closer."

Everyone felt he made some sense, so they all descended from mid-air and began to walk forward step by step.

But they soon discovered that whether in the sky or on the ground, the effect was the same. Everyone's steps would turn left and right, making it impossible to move straight forward or get close to the golden bell buddha fruit.

"This is really strange! Is there a ghost here or something?"

Fang Jinping looked annoyed.

"So what if it's strange? I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't break through it."

Feng Haogeng's face flashed with a fierce expression. "Let's use brute force and see if we can break the current situation."

After speaking, he told everyone to step back, then drew the long sword from his back. To prevent damaging the golden bell buddha fruit, he only used thirty percent of his cultivation, then slashed forward with his sword.

As a Peak Void Tempering expert, his sword strike carried the might to destroy heaven and earth, unleashing a sword glow five or six zhang long, fiercely cutting towards the space in front of him.

But then, a shocking scene occurred. The originally misty Buddha light instantly condensed, forming a golden light shield.

The sharp sword glow struck the shield but not only failed to Breakthrough, it was instead bounced high by a powerful反震之力, transforming into countless golden light spots that dissipated.

Even Feng Haogeng was shaken and sent flying back dozens of meters, his entire face filled with a look of horror.

"What exactly is this? It's too powerful, isn't it?"

"There should be some kind of Formation here, but we can't see it."

Meng Gang seemed to have thought of something. "I once read about some legends in the Sect's secret texts. Some Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures naturally form natural Formations, and what we're seeing now is very likely one."

Dong Ruian said, "Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch the treasure with our own eyes but not be able to get it?"

"Don't worry, everyone, let's try working together and see if we can forcefully break the Formation."

After speaking, he also drew the long sword from his back. The others took out their weapons, spread out, each controlling a direction, and then began to attack together.

Next, cracking sounds were endless. Everyone put forth their full strength, continuously attacking the Formation in front of them.

Flashes of light flickered, continuously releasing waves of energy.

But they ultimately underestimated the natural Formation formed by the golden bell buddha fruit. These people attacked with all their might for two or three hours, but not only did they fail to break the Formation, there wasn't even the slightest change.

"Alright, everyone, stop."

Meng Gang's expression was grim. "This thing simply cannot be broken by brute force, at least not with our current cultivation."

Luo Tianya said unwillingly, "Elder, then what do we do? We can't just go back like this, can we?"

Liu Zhanhao said, "How about we go back and invite a Formation Great Master?"

Feng Haogeng directly shook his head, "According to the current situation, the golden bell buddha fruit will ripen in at most one day.

It would take at least seven days to go from here to invite a Formation Great Master and return. What good would breaking the Formation do then?

Once such a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure ripens and is not picked, I'm afraid it will quickly dissipate between heaven and earth."

Huang Ling said, "Then what do we do? We can't just watch, can we?"

Meng Gang's face was filled with annoyance. "Who knew this strange thing would also come with a natural Formation? If I had known earlier, I would have brought a Formation Great Master."

Just as everyone was feeling incredibly frustrated, a teasing voice rang out.

"Why aren't you struggling anymore? I told you, you useless people can't get the golden bell buddha fruit, but you just wouldn't believe it."

"Young man, what did you say? Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

Luo Tianya was already furious from not being able to get the treasure, and at this moment, he vented it all on Ye Bufan.

After speaking, he raised his treasured sword, ready to act, but Meng Gang pulled him back.

He looked at Ye Bufan, "You mean you can break this Formation?"

"It's just a small effort."

Ye Bufan said, extending three fingers, "Breaking this Formation is a matter of minutes for me, but the condition is I want three golden bell buddha fruits."

Hearing him immediately ask for three golden bell buddha fruits, Dong Ruian instantly became furious. "Daydreaming! Why don't you just say you want them all? A mere Body Integration Stage, what makes you think you can take three?"

"Alright, I'm not qualified. I'm just a small Body Integration Stage."

Ye Bufan showed no anger, a calm smile still on his face.

"Then you all continue. At most, no one will get anything."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the crowd and turned back to eat and drink with Nalan Yujia and the other girl.

"I…"

Dong Ruian was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. Who told them that none of them understood Formations, let alone how to break the natural Formation in front of them?

But if they couldn't break the Formation, they could only watch here, unable to get even a single hair.

"I don't believe we can't do without you!"

There were only seven golden bell buddha fruits, and no one present wanted to give up easily, so they continued to try to find a way to break the Formation.

But they toiled for several more hours, still without any clue.

This natural Formation in front of them was incredibly powerful, and even with all their might, they couldn't break it.

In desperation, Meng Gang, Dong Ruian, and Feng Haogeng gathered to discuss, and finally had no choice but to yield.

There was no other way. If they delayed any longer and the golden bell buddha fruit fully ripened, they truly wouldn't get a single one.

Meng Gang came before Ye Bufan. "Young man, we agree to your terms. As long as you break the Formation and obtain the golden bell buddha fruit, you take three, our Wuliang Temple takes two, and the remaining two major academies each take one."

"That's right. Don't be stubborn when you lack the ability."

Ye Bufan's face still held a smile that could infuriate people without compensation, and he glanced at Dong Ruian.

"Everyone wants good things, but you also need the ability to get them. If you can't, you can't. Being stubborn is useless."

"You…"

Dong Ruian snorted coldly, but he also knew that further words were useless at this point, so he could only turn his head away.

Meng Gang said, "Young man, can you really break this Formation?"

"It couldn't be simpler. Don't think everyone is as stupid as you. Just remember your promise."

Ye Bufan said, stepping towards the natural Formation.

He also had no choice. With three Peak Void Tempering experts guarding here, it was impossible to take the golden bell buddha fruit alone. In this situation, he could only choose to cooperate.

Otherwise, with these three people blocking the way, ultimately no one would get anything.
